Women's Tennis Improves to 8-1 After Doubleheader

BATON ROUGE --- The LSU women’s tennis team took home a pair of victories after defeating Tulane, 4-2, and Southeastern Louisiana, 5-1, in Tuesday’s doubleheader at the LSU Tennis Complex.

The Tigers improved to 8-1 on the season with the win while Tulane fell to 6-4 and Southeastern fell to 3-4.

“We’re getting to that point in the season where they know how they need to play,” co-head coach Julia Sell said. “I think we saw some instances today where we played lights out and had the mental discipline to go out and execute from start to finish.”

After dropping the doubles point to begin the Tulane match and falling on court six in singles, the Tigers overcame a 2-0 Tulane lead in singles to take the match with four straight singles victories.

Kennan Johnson was the first to pick up a point for the Tigers with a quick 6-0, 6-2 win on court four before No. 102 Ryann Foster tied the match a 2-2 with a 6-1, 6-1 win on court one.
